Involve the description of the speech sounds of a language.

Phonetics includes the physical aspects of speech production, which include the following three areas:
Articulatory phonetics
Auditory phonetics
Acoustic phonetics

Phonology handles the organization of speech sounds and their relationship to each other.

If you pay close attention to the way you pronounce top, water, Latin you will note that t is aspirated at the beginning of the word.

Word stress and intonation of phrases and sentence are also parts of phonology. Vowels often change their pronunciation depending upon the position of the stress in the word. Contrast the pronunciation of the italic vowels in the following words: photograph, photography; diplomatic, diplomacy.
